Anodized titanium dragon tail! Wooooo! I love the almost iridescent quality these scales have.

It’s been quite a while since the last time I got to work with these scales. For this commission I custom ordered a batch of them from the manufacturer. This tail uses purple, violet and dark blue anodized titanium scales, plus “Bright” anodized aluminum scales on the underbelly (in red and bronze color). It also uses gold-colored cat claw-shaped spikes. (I had to track down a random amazon supplier for those, since the place I normally get spikes from only does chrome. But nowhere but them seems to have large sizes, so these are all just the small 1-inch ones.)

I ordered enough extra titanium scales that I’ll probably make another tail with it. Probably leaning towards green tones since I got green too. Probably just go for stainless steel on the underbelly though. While these bright aluminum scales are super reflective and pretty, I don’t think they’re pretty enough to justify ten times the price as normal aluminum. Especially on the underside where you don’t seen them all that much. But, the commissioner was wanting to match their character, and they were happy to pay for the premium materials.

It's been a long time since anyone bought a necklace from me, but recently I've had a few people ask for collars for D/s and pup play stuff. So I was brushing up on good weaves for that. Full-Persian weave, in 2 ring sizes, one that works, one that's...way too stiff. The stiff one is stainless steel, the flexible one is bright aluminum.

I’ll probably post the reasonable one up on my Etsy soon in stainless steel. If there happens to be a big interest in it I may stock anodized aluminum colors in those ring sizes, but we’ll see.
